Best-of list · Sports Guides
The 4 best sports bars in Berlin for 2026, from Belushi's near Alexanderplatz to Hops and Barley in Friedrichshain. Where to actually watch the match.
The short answer
4 ranked rooms follow. How we picked is at the end of this guide.
Berlin keeps its football in two kinds of room: international sports bars near Alexanderplatz and proper beer houses scattered east. The four below are the ones that check out as real and open, from Belushi's wall of projectors to a Friedrichshain brewpub pouring its own Helles. James Harlow ranked them on the test that matters: what the match looks like from the worst seat in the house.
The PUB Berlin sits right on Alexanderplatz and runs on a gimmick that works: taps built into the tables, so you pour your own and the meter tracks the pint. It is more drinking game than dedicated sports room, though screens go up for the big Bundesliga and Champions League nights. Loud, central, and full of visitors. Come with a group, not for a quiet corner watch.
Belushi's Berlin sits under the St Christopher's hostel a short walk from Alexanderplatz, and it is the most complete sports room on this list. Seventeen HD TVs and two giant projectors carry everything from the Premier League and Bundesliga to NFL and AFL. Food runs to 11pm and the crowd skews young and international. Get there early for a marquee kickoff and grab a booth near a projector.
Full listing & hours →The Irish Pub in the Europa-Center basement runs a 36 meter bar, one of the longest in the city, and a live band every night of the week. Big screens carry the football, so it doubles as a watch spot before the music starts. Guinness and Kilkenny on tap, classic pub grub, and a City West location that is easy to reach. Go for an early match, stay for the band.
Full listing & hours →Hops & Barley brews its own in a former butcher's shop on Wühlischstraße in Friedrichshain, going since 2008. This is a beer destination first, with an unfiltered Helles, an IPA and a house cider worth the trip. Screens are not the draw, so come for a big derby rather than a full Saturday card. Tight tiled room, local crowd, and some of the best fresh beer in east Berlin.
